US economy is doing pretty well under Trump, no?
- mattgibson 9y agoTrump has done almost nothing to change it. It's doing well because of Obama.
- mi100hael 9y agoWe're coming up on a year of record highs. How long does one have to wait until a President is allowed to take credit?
- zeveb 9y ago> How long does one have to wait until a President is allowed to take credit? Depends on whether the hearer likes or dislikes him.
- abritinthebay 9y agoAt the very least until their first budget goes into effect. This is not a new concept. It's why the stupid right wing memes in like.. April were all "Obamas first 100 days vs Trumps first 100" - because Obama was dealing with the freaking recession and the Bush policies and budget. Again - this is not new.
- pjc50 9y agoPeople should describe a policy, and a means for that policy to have made a difference to the economy, when taking credit. Otherwise it's like taking credit for the sun rising.
- abritinthebay 9y agoThat’s not how economics works. The economy was depressed due to the election year (uncertainty) and bounced back. Any additional growth is mostly attributable to Obamaera policy (tho some short term juicing of markets has happened under Trump occasionally).
- dx034 9y agoEconomic growth is not the only reason to live in a country.
- dsr_ 9y agoNo, the US stock market is doing pretty well. These are different things.
